Public Tour: Sketching Tour of Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone

Explore Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone. The Art of Friendship through this engaging sketching tour, incorporating rich historical information, art appreciation and lightly facilitated tuition.

Sketching directly from art objects enhances our observational skills, fosters a deeper understanding of visual form, and strengthens our ability to perceive the world around us.  On this tour, our expert artist educators will guide you as you look closely at superb artworks from two of Ireland’s leading modernists and respond through your own expressive mark-making.  
All materials are provided, and no artistic training or ability is required, simply a desire to look, learn and respond creatively! 
 
•    Ticket includes access to the exhibition.
•    Meet your sketching tour guide in our Atrium, near the Merrion Square Information Desk.
